Earth.
Both Trunks and Gohan were extremely worried.
Everything had happened far too suddenly, and Trunks was still harbouring some misguided ideas in his mind.
For example, he had tried to tempt Beerus with food.
Moments earlier, he had used Instant Transmission to return to West City, where he had filled Capsule Corp capsules with a huge amount of food.
The most urgent task right now was to find Beerus and bribe him. Trunks waited for a response from Supreme Kai Shin and Kibito.
…
Within the Supreme Kai Realm.
The Old Supreme Kai's crystal ball hovered quietly in midair, emitting a faint glow.
However, something completely unexpected happened: Beerus and Gogeta, who had been clearly visible just moments ago, suddenly disappeared from the image inside the crystal ball.
The three Supreme Kais looked at one another, their faces filled with confusion and concern.
No matter how hard they tried to understand it, they could not fathom why the crystal ball, endowed with mysterious powers, had suddenly lost the ability to track the two powerful warriors.
Just as everyone was at a complete loss, a miracle occurred.
A miracle occurred.
The Crystal Ball's view abruptly switched to Earth, causing Supreme Kai Shin to widened his eyes in shock.
He had heard a voice he knew all too well.
"Trunks?!"
Hearing that name was like a bolt of lightning tearing through the night sky, stirring an indescribable surge of excitement in Supreme Kai Shin's heart.
After all, it had been a long time since he had last heard that voice.
Once he understood Trunks' request, Supreme Kai Shin did not hesitate. He immediately turned to Kibito beside him and gave the urgent order: "Quick, bring Trunks here, Kibito! There's no time to lose!"
Before he had even finished speaking, Kibito nodded firmly.
The next instant...
"Whoosh!"
Kibito's figure vanished on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, a flash of light appeared, and he was back in the Supreme Kai Realm.
Two figures suddenly materialized at his side, appearing before everyone like ghosts.
They were Trunks and Gohan.
"Trunks! You finally made it."
Supreme Kai Shin clenched his fists tightly, his face filled with excitement. The moment he saw Trunks, the tension in his heart eased slightly.
Ever since the incident ten years ago, Supreme Kai Shin had developed an inexplicable reliance on Trunks.
Trunks gave a slight nod in response, but just at that moment...
...another figure appeared out of thin air.
It was a plump, heavyset person.
"Lord Supreme Kai! Look who I've brought you!" Kibito shouted excitedly.
Supreme Kai Shin slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the newcomer from bottom to top. As his eyes moved upwards, the familiar face of the Grand Supreme Kai appeared in his mind.
In an instant, countless memories surged forth. Supreme Kai Shin's eyes reddened, and tears glistened within them.
He forced himself not to let them fall, continuing to stare at the person before him and finally fixing his gaze on their head.
"Grand Supreme Kai…!"
Suddenly, a chubby pink face burst into his vision, the Grand Supreme Kai had reverted to Majin Buu.
Supreme Kai Shin's voice cut off abruptly. Majin Buu looked around in astonishment at everything here. At that moment, the Grand Supreme Kai's personality was already asleep.
Majin Buu's gaze finally settled on Trunks.
He bent forward respectfully and asked, "Boss, where are we? Why are you here too?"
The etiquette training that Super Little Cell had given Majin Buu was clearly quite effective, as Supreme Kai Shin and Kibito were completely dumbfounded by this scene.
Majin Buu was one with the Grand Supreme Kai. If Majin Buu called Trunks 'boss', then that meant the Grand Supreme Kai was also Trunks' subordinate.
Everything was in chaos. Absolute chaos.
Glancing at Majin Buu, Trunks saw a trace of light flash through his eyes. "Buu, that's great... you're here too! Quickly wake up Lord Grand Supreme Kai!"
Majin Buu blinked, scratched his head and replied, "Boss, I let him out just now. He's very tired now."
As he spoke, Majin Buu's gaze shifted to Supreme Kai Shin and Kibito nearby.
"The Grand Supreme Kai said that you two must shoulder the responsibility of protecting the universe. Did you hear that?"
Majin Buu placed his hands on his hips and addressed Supreme Kai Shin in a serious tone.
At that moment, the Old Supreme Kai walked up to Majin Buu and interrupted.
"If we're relying on those two, I'm afraid it won't be enough. I originally thought the current Supreme Kais were all useless, but it turns out I was mistaken."
"The Grand Supreme Kai's intelligence really impresses me, unlike these two…"
The Old Supreme Kai then shot a glance at Kibito and Supreme Kai Shin. Both of them lowered their heads in silence. It was at this moment that Trunks turned his attention to the Old Supreme Kai.
"Lord Old Supreme Kai, can your crystal ball see the battle between Beerus and my father?" Trunks asked.
The Old Supreme Kai handed the crystal ball to Trunks. At that moment, the crystal ball was still completely white.
Trunks froze for a moment.
(Could it be... could the two of them have shattered the dimensions and gone to another space-time?)
This thought suddenly popped into his mind. However, just then, the well-informed Old Supreme Kai suddenly spoke.
He slowly said, "In the universe, there is only one place that I cannot observe."
Everyone's gaze focused on the Old Supreme Kai once again.
"The World of Void."
The words 'World of Void' appeared in Trunks' mind. It was precisely the new map introduced in Dragon Ball Super during the Tournament of Power.
A special space that existed independently, if that was the case, then everything made sense. No wonder Gogeta's aura couldn't be perceived.
In the next moment, Trunks' gaze landed on Kibito.
"Lord Kibito, your Instant Transmission can take you anywhere, right?"
Kibito nodded, then added, "That's true, but… I can only go to places I already know."
"Places like the World of Void, somewhere I've never even heard of, I can't go there."
After hearing Kibito's explanation, Trunks felt it was understandable. The Supreme Kai duo had never really been guided, so their understanding of the universe was incomplete.
If it were the Grand Supreme Kai, he would definitely be able to do it. But now, the Grand Supreme Kai had fallen asleep once again. Just as Trunks was at his wit's end, he suddenly stopped in place.
Gogeta's aura began to reappear in his mind.
Trunks placed a hand on his forehead, carefully sensing Gogeta's presence.
But… the aura was faint and intermittent, drifting in and out, it still wasn't enough to meet the conditions required for Instant Transmission.
Still…
At least there was finally a bit of hope.
